Does babies poop in the wound?

No, babies do not poop in the womb. While in utero, they are surrounded by amniotic fluid and receive nutrients through the placenta, which prevents the need for bowel movements. However, they may pass meconium, a thick, dark substance, shortly after birth, which is a combination of digested amniotic fluid and other materials they ingested while in the womb. In rare cases, if a baby is stressed during labor, they might pass meconium before birth, which can lead to complications.
